Description

Lithium ion battery silicon-carbon negative electrode material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage materials, and particularly relates to a silicon-carbon cathode material of a lithium ion battery, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
At present, the energy which is basically dominant in all countries is the traditional energy such as coal, oil, natural gas and the like, but with the rapid development of global economy, the excessive exploitation and use of non-renewable resources such as coal, oil, natural gas and the like lead to the increasingly reduced energy resource reserves, so the shortage of energy cannot meet the rapid development requirements of all countries in the world at present. Meanwhile, the use of a large amount of non-renewable energy sources such as coal, petroleum and the like also brings huge pollution problems to the environment: global warming, poor air quality, water pollution. Therefore, we have to develop sustainable energy, i.e. develop new energy that is renewable and low-pollution. Under the background of global energy shortage and environmental deterioration, energy storage batteries are advocated by the nation as power sources of electric bicycles, electric automobiles and other vehicles, and lithium ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, long cycle life, no memory effect and the like, and are green energy storage and conversion devices. At present, lithium ion batteries have been widely used in the fields of portable electronic devices, power automobiles, and the like.
The graphite carbon negative electrode material has the advantages of good conductivity, abundant resources, no pollution and the like, and has successfully realized industrial application. However, the theoretical specific capacity of graphite is low (372mAh/g), the increasing demand of power energy can not be met, and the charge-discharge platform of the graphite is low (0.01-0.2V vs. Li/Li)+) The lithium precipitation on the surface of the graphite cathode is easily caused, and potential safety hazards exist. Currently, most studied lithium ion battery negative electrode materials are as follows: titanate, metal oxide, tin-based alloy, germanium-based, silicon-based negative electrode material and the like. The theoretical specific capacity of silicon is up to 4200mAh/g (Li)22Si5) The material is more than ten times higher than the commercialized graphite material (372mAh/g), so the silicon negative electrode material has huge application prospect. However, the pure silicon material as the negative electrode material of the lithium ion battery has the following problems: firstly, silicon belongs to a semiconductor and has poor conductivity; and secondly, the silicon can generate serious volume expansion in the process of lithium intercalation and deintercalation, so that the electrode material can be gradually pulverized in the process of multiple cycles to cause structural collapse, and further the problems of low first efficiency, short cycle life and the like are caused.
Aiming at the defects of the pure silicon electrode material, currently, many studied improvement schemes are as follows: nanocrystallization of silicon, porous silicon, alloying of silicon, and silicon-based compounding. The preparation method of the silicon-based negative electrode material comprises the following steps: the preparation method comprises the steps of reducing silicon dioxide by an aluminothermic method to prepare porous silicon, preparing nano-silicon by high-energy nano-ball milling, preparing silicon nanowires by CVD (chemical vapor deposition), preparing a silicon nano-film by magnetron sputtering, and preparing a silicon-based composite material (ball-milling mixing, spray drying, CVD carbon coating, liquid-phase organic carbon ex-situ coating, chemical in-situ polymerization coating and the like). The dispersion of the nano silicon in the silicon-carbon composite material and the stability of the carbon shell layer coated by the nano silicon are key factors of the high and low electrochemical performance of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material. Closed cycle spray drying has the advantages of: simple preparation process flow, solvent recycling, high drying speed and high yield, thereby being very suitable for industrial production. However, the silicon-based negative electrode material obtained by the existing method has the problems of larger irreversible capacity, poor conductivity, cycling stability and the like in practical application.
